Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics 740-066972-BO 20 m SFP+ macho/macho

The BlueOptics 740-066972-BO is a 20 m InfiniBand/fibre optic active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed network links. Engineered to support 10GBASE-SR applications over multimode fiber, this pre-assembled SFP+ to SFP+ cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules in each connector to enable optical data transmission between compatible switches, routers, storage systems and server hardware. The cable is intended for data center and high-performance computing environments where low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference are required.

Advantages

This 20 m BlueOptics AOC is built to follow MSA SFP+/AOC standards and is compatible with equipment that supports SFP+ 10GBASE-SR interfaces. The integrated optical transceivers eliminate the need for separate patch cords and reduce connector loss and cleaning requirements. The cable supports simultaneous send/receive optical transmission, offers digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) capability for remote status and error analysis where supported by host hardware, and is produced using industry-grade components to deliver a long operational life.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between SFP+ ports in data center switches and routers
• High-performance computing clusters and storage area networks
• Short-reach 10 Gbit/s links over multimode fiber up to 20 m

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with multimode fiber
• Nominal length: 20 meters
• Supported speed: up to 10 Gbit/s (10GBASE-SR)
• Transmission: optical laser-based transmit and receive on each end
• Diagnostics: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with MSA SFF-8472 (functionality dependent on host support)
• Immunity: not susceptible to electromagnetic interference typical for fiber links

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 20 m SFP+ AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be connected, ensuring correct orientation and a secure latch. Verify that both devices support SFP+ 10GBASE-SR AOC modules and enable any required port settings in the device firmware or operating system. If available, use host management tools to read DDM/DOM values for live monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, output/received power and temperature. No additional fiber patching or connector cleaning is required thanks to the factory-terminated design.

Recommendations

Prior to deployment, confirm compatibility with the target hardware and firmware to ensure full functionality. Avoid sharp bends and excessive mechanical stress on the cable; follow standard bend-radius guidelines for fiber optic assemblies. Use DDM/DOM monitoring where supported to track link health and perform maintenance planning based on diagnostic data.
